Ahhh, Winter in NYC……..it can be gloomy, misty, foggy, and dark at times can’t it? But no matter how dark the skies become, there is something so gorgeous about the buildings, architecture, and design of the ciy that always stands out.  Case in point, the beautiful surroundings on this particular gloomy day in February. And, just so you know, it was freezing! I stayed warm by layering my Zara denim shirt over a J Crew t shirt, and my bright cobalt Marc Jacobs coat kept me both warm, and happy with a needed pop of color.  I last wore this gorgeous coat in THIS POST.  (You can buy a Similar coat HERE) I carried my orange clutch from ASOS for an added pop of color.  I have a always loved blue and orange together.This clutch was last seen in THIS POST, paired with denim.  (Similar clutch HERE.) The fringe suede boots are Nine West. They were on sale, and sold out, but you can buy a similar style HERE.  Stay warm!

Stylish sweaters to stay chic in Winter
I love kitschy sweatshirts. There is something about a sweater, or a sweatshirt being really over the top that suddenly makes it cool. At least in my book.  I am seeing more and more of these eye catching,and outlandish designs lately. Some of them remind me of things I have seen my grandma wear, but I think that is why I like them. They are unexpected.  They say something.  They shake things up. They make a statement.  And that statement is, I’m not afraid to be bold. I am not afraid to wear a parrot on my chest, or a deer, or a skull.  Plus, they are really warm, and it’s pretty cold outside.  Score. 😉

I celebrated the Fall-like temps  by wearing every single pink item I could find in my closet.  Overkill?  I was happy to be able to wear my leather jacket, although, after these pics were snapped, I had to put my fur vest over it. It’s warmer then usual, but it’s not Spring yet! I wore my Jeffrey Cambell Litas because they are tall enough to hover over the snow, and there is rubber on the bottom.  Believe it or not, they are as comfortable as sneakers!  My top and necklace are J Crew.  I love their long sleeve knit shirts and sweaters.  Their colors and patterns are great for layering. Speaking of which, have you seen the images of the J Crew show at NYFW? ***DROOLING***  I will be posting my fave looks from NYFW later this week. Stay warm!!!!

Happy Snow day!Celine in snowHappy Snow DayHello from snow buried NYC!!!  As most of the world knows, NYC, and the surrounding areas of New England were covered in a blanket of snow this weekend.  (The timing of “Nemo” hitting us at the start of Fashion Week  was definitely NOT ideal!) But, I can’t say it’s not beautiful!  Me, being the stubborn fashionista that I am, insisted on wearing my tall wedge Steve Madden boots despite the thick ice and snow.   You should have seen the look on my boyfriend’s face when I emerged from the bedroom in these! We had a meeting in our neighborhood, so I figured walking a few blocks to brunch in these babies wouldn’t be bad. After all…..there is rubber on the bottom! Boy, was I wrong! All I can say is thank God for railings,parked cars, and my boyfriend to hold on to! LOL  Since it was so cold, I opted to put a warm fur vest over my wool Mackage coat.  I love layering vests over coats to give them a fresh look.  I also love the look of fur over coats, and this is a great way to get that look without spending a ton of money.  It’s also a good way to wear old coats, and make them look new again!  The vest was an ebay find btw. 😉 Lastly, I wore bright blue cobalt to brighten up the black, and as you know from THIS POST, I love neon brights in Winter! How are you dressing for the storm? Tell me in the comments below.

Anyway, this has been an exciting weekend so far. My boyfriend, an up and coming actor and comedian, (and a pretty good blog photographer if I do say so myself), appeared on national television yesterday, and had host Vinnie Politan laughing in stitches on HLN’S Making it in America. If you want to laugh, click here to watch the video.

Lastly, the moment we have all been waiting for! The winner of my Asos Leopard Coat Giveaway! The winner is Annie!  I will be contacting her now! Congrats Annie! The winner was picked randomly.  Stay tuned for TWO more giveaways this month!!! And thanks for reading! Continue to follow me on Facebook, and Twitter for more updates and giveaways!
